Foosball Table With Cup Holders

KICK Emperor is a true KICK 55 inches foosball table with cup holders. For any foosball fan that is enough of a review. It comes with all of the usual KICK qualities and drawbacks. It is a very well-built table that comes with the option of installing all three or just one of the goalies, and the optional corner ramps. And the chrome-plated heavy-duty steel rods are home to the counterweighted men. But it requires woodworking skills to assemble properly. While the assembly instructions could be a bit easier to follow, and optional features more clearly marked as such. Many customers have by accident installed corner ramps with all three goalies. Though the ramps can be removed, installation leaves rather ugly drill holes looking like a sore thumb. Cup holders on this table are integrated into corners, but might not be appealing to everyone as they are raised. Functionally they are very good, made of sturdy plastic, but might not be to everyone’s taste.

Pros

• KICK quality
• Lifetime warranty
• Feature-rich

Cons

• Not the easiest to assemble
• Not the prettiest cup holders

T&R Sports is one of the biggest names for sporting goods in Australia, and the folks down under know how to build foosball tables. Made out of the high-density MDF boards, it is sturdy enough for indoor use. This 55 inches table promises hours and hours of fun. Standing just short of 35 inches tall, it is not recommended for kids 12 years old or younger. You can choose two colorways, black or oak, and both come with the woodgrain pattern and chrome-plated hardware. As such, it may not suit everyone’s taste. It features four foldable cup holders, one for each corner, positioned within arm’s reach. When folded up, they look like a part of the table’s hardware, unobtrusive, and in style with the other parts. They painted with a chrome-plated effect, but are not actually made of metal, but of plastic. I think that they are just sturdy enough for soda cans or similar size of drinks, and anything heavier could be asking too much from these cup holders.

Pros

• Counterweighted men
• Sturdy construction
• Individually adjustable feet

Cons

• Plastic cup holders require some caution

If you are not a fan of or wood grains would clash with the design of your playroom, Playcraft got you covered. Overall of a similar design, Playcraft’s table comes with few interesting features. While the T&R Sports table is a European style, this one is a proper American style with a three-men goalie and flat playing surface. It also comes with free tournament style, high friction balls. It’s a very sturdy built foosball table, with sides more than an inch thick. It also comes with all four feet individually adjustable. But, when it comes to making adjustments it offers one very uncommon, but very useful feature. It has integrated spirit levels on both ends. Besides being a very useful feature, it is also esthetically unobtrusive. It doesn’t spoil the lines of the table being black as it is. Cup holders on this table are on a different level from the previous one. They are recessed into the frame of the table, and they are large enough to accept up to 20 ounces bottles.

Pros

• Sturdy construction
• Cup holders are integrated into the table
• Feature-rich

Cons

• Not the easiest to assemble

Brunswick Billiards is better known for its 175-years long history of making top-quality billiards and pool tables. But they also make high-quality foosball tables. Among them is also the Kicker, foosball table with cup holders. This matte black table is covered with high-quality vinyl, which makes it resistant to both humidity and moisture. If you live in a dryer area, it is perfectly possible to use it outside, but in some shaded space. While Brunswick doesn’t advertise it as weatherproof, anything short of rain and direct sunshine, this table can handle outdoors with a little bit of TLC. It features a very sleek modernistic design, with high-quality robot-style men. It has a very slippery playing surface made of high-quality melamine and features 3-goalies set up. You could say it is a proper American foosball table from an American company. Cup holders are folding external type, similar to the T&R Sports product. But are made of much sturdier ABS plastic which gives the impression of a long-lasting product.

Pros

• Very well-built
• Humidity and moisture resistant
• Stylish

Cons

• Not the most affordable
• A short warranty period of just 90 days

Carrom is a well-known American manufacturer, being in the business of tabletop games for more than 120 years. Proudly carrying the “Made in the USA” stamp their Signature foosball table with cup holders is a high-quality product. By design, it is very similar to KICK’s product, so much that one could even mistake them for each other. KICK’s table is a hefty one, with its 125 lbs due to the use of sturdy materials. But Carrom’s clocks 150 lbs, promising even higher durability. This higher quality does come with a drawback of a higher price tag. Both tables come with raised corner cup holders and independently adjustable rubberized feet. But Carrom’s table will arrive at your doorsteps partially assembled, making the installation much easier and less time-consuming. Though manufactured in the States, by a reputable company, some customers are reporting odd issues. Most commonly not receiving all of the players, or some not being counterweighted as advertised. Carrom’s customer service is quick to fix these issues and send the replacement parts. But I think that a company with more than 120 years of doing business shouldn’t have these kinds of issues.

Pros

• Very high-quality materials
• Comes partially assembled

Cons

• Not the most affordable
• Sometimes arrive with parts missing
